On August 1, Manchester United beat Real Betis 3-2 in a pre-season friendly. After the match, Erik ten Hag spoke to the media about the performance and his players.
On Diallo’s performance
“Yes, he (Diallo) did well, he has had a good pre-season so far. You can definitely see him improving in games, defensively he’s been good, in terms of winning the ball back and pressing, so I am very happy with his performance.”
On squad rotation
“This week everyone needs a few more minutes to get back into shape. The games will get more demanding of course, I think Saturday against Liverpool will be a good test for us, good preparation for the season.”
On the team’s playing style
“The style of play we want to achieve is to be proactive, to be aggressive, sometimes we are high up the pitch, sometimes we are low, it doesn’t matter. We need to be very aggressive, in order to do that we need to press at certain times and everyone needs to be in line with that. Then you have to translate that into possession, we have to do that as a team.”
